Wonderful experience. Juliette provided such warm & informative service & made this meal even more special. The food was delicious & the ambiance was perfect. Merci beaucoup.
Une expérience mémorable, une très belle ambiance, les serveurs était très professionnel méritant une étoile Michelin. La nourriture était très bonne avec de bonnes portions, je le recommande fortement!!
Great experience in terms of the ambience & location, but the food was not up to par considering the prices. The rack of lamb main was not seasoned well, no salt, & similar story with the sauce. The explanation from the kitchen was that the meat is not seasoned a lot, which doesn't make sense to me. The beef tartare & accompanying fries along with the goat cheese appetizer was a pleasant eating experience in comparison, which is why I left an average review.

2e fois : toujours aussi bon & élégant.
Les cocktails & les plats sont top. L'ambiance musicale est 100% française. Zero attente pour nous ce soir. Un repas bouclé en 1h30.
Le soufflé est parfaitement exécuté.
Je recommande si vous chercher un bon français dans le Vieux-Montréal.
1ere fois : Magnifique expérience ! De l'entrée au dessert en passant par les cocktails & recommandations de vin de choix ! Un grand bravo à l'équipe qui nous fait sentir être des princes. Je recommande vivement le profiterole avec son choux maison. Un délice !!

Merci à Frédéric & à toute l'équipe, pour avoir accommodé mes clients, pour un anniversaire. Ils étaient 16 personnes samedi dernier avec deux tables bien placées à l'arrière.
Ils ont bien appréciés leur repas & l'ambiance.
A truly memorable & romantic dining experience at Restaurant Bonaparte.
My wife & I enjoyed a beautiful evening from start to finish. The ambiance is simply perfect for a romantic night, elegant, intimate, & full of charm. It creates that special atmosphere where you can truly slow down & enjoy each other's company.
The service was outstanding. Attentive, warm, & perfectly paced, making us feel welcomed & cared for throughout the evening without ever being intrusive.
The food, as always, was exceptional. Every dish was refined, beautifully presented, & full of flavor. You can truly feel the consistency & passion behind every plate.
Restaurant Bonaparte is always on point. A perfect setting for a romantic dinner, & an experience we will definitely cherish.
Thank you for such a lovely evening.
Nous avons été pour la st Valentin, le service & l'ambiance etait impeccable mais nous avons trouvé que les plats n'étaient pas a la hauteur considérant le prix
A must-do in Old Montreal. This cozy French restaurant had charm, warm ambiance, super delicious food, & an amazing staff! The staff were really friendly, fun, & knowledgeable about the menu & drink options. I tried Artic Char for the first time & now it's my absolute new favourite. My husband had duck confit cooked to perfection. The dessert souffle was not only delicious but also a beautiful treat! I highly recommend this restaurant!
We highly recommend duck confit, lamb shank, catch of the day (walleye) & rabbit confit. The terrine & wine was not super impressive but was still good. Service was good & they treated us very well for my birthday. This was the second visit for one of us.
